I just finished coding a web-app similar to eSnipe, but this one is to be used with BiddingPond (it took me a week and a half to code). Let's hope my "snipe" on this auction is successful and I get the coin (at least I hope that)! Hehehehe... he. MUWAHAHAHAHA!!
By the way, just in case you're wondering, I'm NOT sharing this app with ANYONE; it's just to be used for me... I hate to sound greedy, but I made this specifically for me to win BiddingPond auctions (since I couldn't find a sniping service/program for the site anywhere), so I don't want anyone else to beat my price with my own program. I hope that doesn't come across as rude or anything... HOWEVER, if anyone is willing to offer me a high enough price (like say 800+ Bitcoins (or whatever the current rate for around 200 USD is), then I will give them the program AND the source, but they can't release it to anyone else without my permission. I know the price is outrageously high, but like I said, I don't want to give the app away.
This is stupid. If I'm willing to pay more than you the site will snip my bid right back over yours. You can't win unless you are willing to pay more than the most anyone else is willing to pay. edit: oh, I get it. People feel like they are being sniped because of the auto bidder and you want them to think it was you. |

I agree about prison/slavery. If you aren't free to go then you are a slave.

BioMike, did something change? New adds have broken links. Even when I use the exact same link as a currently working ad it does not work.
edit: seems to work, maybe I didn't use the exact same address as before. Is the http:// necessary?

DNS transfer has gone successfully.While our DNS updates propagate throughout the internet you may access the site at: http://biddingpond.nfshost.com/if you have trouble viewing via other methods. I have also started to integrate captchas into the website before placing a bid to reduce(eliminate?) automated bid sniping. I am much opposed to the captchas. Sniping is not a problem, you already have an automated bidder in place. |

The forest analogy is inaccurate. Forest fires are an important part of a forest ecology, by clearing out the tall trees they allow fast growing undergrowth to flourish and keep he forest from stagnating and becoming a bog. Forest fires are absolutely bad for a great deal of individual trees while good for the forest as a whole.
<Shrug> I'm not tied to the analogy, but it seems to me that the old forest would be gone and a new one would grow. But if there is a decision to be made between burning most individuals or not; I'd rather no one burned us, regardless of how it will help the economy. |

I just had an idea. It's probably not a possible change, but maybe, interesting anyway.
Right now you only pay to get your tx included in the chain, but the tx benefits in terms of security for every block added after it.
It would be cool if when you paid a fee it went half to the miner who included it, 1/4 to the next block finder, 1/8, 1/16 until below some limit. This way each user can increase the incentive to put his block deeper and deeper, potentially for a while, but still for a finite fee.

Some people will NEVER sell their bitcoin to the gov...like me!  Me too!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER I'll sell, 1BTC/state. Maybe they'll give me NJ at least. |

That's great. Thanks for the chart.

The second way is for an external service to take the coins of many different people, mix them up, and send similar amounts back to those peoples' addresses. If the mixer keeps no logs of who gets which coins, any investigation must stop here. I setup bitcoin just yesterday. But had been thinking about it for a while. Particularly I had an issue with each coin containing it's own transaction history. I was thinking about anonymous payment gateways, and came up with the idea of having external services that can forward payments for you. So, Aleph wants to pay Bravo some coin, but doesn't want Bravo to know where the money is coming from, and doesn't want Gerry (the government) to know where the money is coming from, or going. So, Aleph sends the money to Cent (external server). Cent has received money from various other users in the past, and so has a stack of coins from various people. Cent randomly selects from these coins the appropriate number and forwards these on to Bravo. Cent never keeps logs, and so has no record of who sent money to Cent, or where Cent subsequently sent that money to. Anonymous payment gateway. Now, to my thinking, the most trusted of these would be the ones that were run by community groups such as EFF, or on darknets, or similar. But, there is nothing to say that commercial operations could exist that would take a percentage, or a slice of every payment. My first post, I don't think I repeated what anyone else has said. I think a safe way would be to go through 7 or so sites, there are already gambling accounts in addition to all the exchanges in the future, ATITD, etc. Even if 6 of them kept records and were coerced into telling it would be useless. There could even be a service that did that for you and you could use 2 of them or more. This still doesn't save you from the merchant tattling on you if he needs info about you to serve you. |

That chart seems odd. Difficulty was never less than 1 and value was never more than 1. How is value/difficulty ever above 1? I guess the units could be in value in cents. Is that it?

What happens when we have atomic level duplication machines? One Benjamin in, two come out, you can't tell which is real. What now?
Shall we make duplication machines illegal?
Bad premises lead to bad outcomes. The notion that one person should hurt another for doing the very same thing is a bad premise.

Counterfeiting is not a real crime. Putting ink on paper hurts no one.
The real crime is issuing notes promising to redeem for gold, breaking the promise, and maintaining the value of your pictures by force.
You're reasoning in nonsense! What if I counterfeit 1 trillion dollars and use it like nobody's business? Paper returns to it's correct value more quickly than it is on trajectory to do now. The consequence of not putting people in cages for coloring paper a certain way is that we'll no longer have a bubble in paper painted a certain way. If your worldview collapses when someone suggests not caging people for non-violent actions it might be worth rethinking. That might sound a little self-righteous, it isn't meant that way; I'm just figuring things out myself. I came to this particular realization around the time I learned the folly of IP. They are essentially the same and the arguments are similar. Some business models don't work unless you use violence to stop people from doing exactly what you are doing with their own stuff. We should abandon those models and not apologize for force. |

If someone interested we are Russian radical nationalists and fight for Russian national revolution, obviously  ) Against rusofobic "russian" government and Russia as police and repression system. I'm sorry, but what does radical nationalism mean in this context? Because from an American perspective, it doesn't sound like something I would support. Good question. I just see "against government" and assume kinship, lol. It would be pretty silly to be nationalistic in the sense that I understand it and be against the government. They drew the lines that separate us! |

If there was a "click here after you switch wallets" button that would probably save a good number of people a brief heart attack. It shouldn't even need a click. The client should check on starting for a new wallet. I would like to see a wallet subdirectory that you could drop any number of wallet files into, and the client would recognise all of them when starting up. Indeed that sounds much better. |

Maybe you are unusual. I have a really hard time believing that when the newest cool cell phone of 2015 comes out and you still have your 100BTC that you aren't going to part with .00001 of them to get your holographic phone. But if you insist that there is nothing you'll ever pay any fraction of a coin for, I can buy it and I'll play along.
Why are you holding them if you are never going to spend a single tiny bit of one?!
I can't answer your question about the economy, maybe you can answer this: Is it better to care for your garden and hope this improves your plants or to care for your plants and hope this improves your garden?

Will be -rescan option in GUI?
No. Unless you're changing your wallet outside of bitcoin, rescanning isn't necessary. It would be nice if the GUI had "backup wallet" and "merge backed up wallet with current wallet" options-- the "merge wallet" would need do a rescan. Maybe next release somebody will implement those features... It might still be nice to have a rescan button in the options somewhere. If someone who wasn't up on all this switches a wallet in from a backup or to a new machine they're going to be all  If there was a "click here after you switch wallets" button that would probably save a good number of people a brief heart attack. |

At least anyone saying bitcoin is not anonymous enough can try to prove it.
i think "pseudo anonymity" describes it pretty well. anyone who did her homework can access bitcoin network in a way that protects her true IP and identity + paypal fraud included most probably stolen id information + account into. all that we can find out is barely patterns how the dirty bitcoins moved until they they were laundered. assume IP addresses are found -> unusable if i2p or tor were used or a zombie botnet pc was used as exit point assume we trace bitcoins through a chain of addresses -> they end up in a laundry / pool and become untraceable I don't think all of those scammers would be smart enough to go through Tor or i2p - perhaps they just cracked someone's password for their email and used their paypal account (which, knowing some people's level of security awareness, had identical password to the email account password). On a side note, it's just pathetic that they are ruining the good service for the sake of 40 BTC. Gordon Gekko would laugh hard. It is pathetic, but they didn't ruin the service, as mndrix said he was expecting and is going to learn from it. There will be a better service in the end. |

... inflation would cause them to spend and the economy might just recover ...
It's a misconception that "the economy" is an entity of its own, that it is anything other than the aggregate of what is done by people. You are essentially saying that people should be forced to do something other than what is in their best interests, for the benefit of a statistic called "the economy". But if "the economy" can only show the statistics that you want to see, when society is structured against the best interests of the people within it, then I think you're looking at the wrong side of the equation. Absolutely. There is nothing that is good for my family that is bad for my family members. There is no such thing as hurting the trees to help a forest. If you want to help then help individuals; they actually exist. |
